It doesn't let you download them again if it thinks you have already installed them.coke wrote:

Thanks a lot, I'll take a look and try it out.GCroke wrote:
Make sure you can view file extensions (Tools>Folder Options>View>'uncheck' Hide extensions for known file types)
Go into C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Link\Cache (This should be where it's transferred the files over to after updating to 'EA Link' from 'EA Downloader'
In there is a folder which wil be {<ranodom numbers/letters>} go into that, you might have the following files there
[FOLDER] bf2_fullpatch_1.41
eagamesbf2-2006online_contentbf2_patch_141_full.eam - Patch
eagamesbf2-2006online_map_contentbf2af.eam - The Armoured Fury Expansion Pack Reference File
bf2armor.viv - The Armoured Fury Raw Data File
eagamesbf2-2006online_map_contentbf2euro.eam - The Euro Forces Expansion Pack Reference File
bf2euro.viv - The Euro Forces Raw Data File
At the least you might have the .eam files or there might be duplicate files names but with a .eac file extension, the .eac file is a temporary file until the pack has been downloaded which then turns into the .viv file. But in all likely hood you won't have the .eac files, you will most likely have the .eam files only.
If however you have the .eam files and the .viv files, then backup the .eam files and delete the originals, then run EA link and might re-create them again showing you have the packs downloaded ready for install, if it does then install the packs, if doesn't then backup both the .eam and .viv files and delete both, the run EA link again and it might re-create them again, if not reinstate the original .eam and .viv files.
If you have the .eam files but not the .viv files then create a backup of the Armoured forces and Euro Forces .eam files, your preffered method of backing up (.zip, rename, .old etc), then delete the orginals, then run EA link again and see what it reports back, if it doesn't detect them being ready for install but has them listed for download, then re-download them.
It should detect them in some form or another as EA link should report to the account server which should have a record of your transaction/downloads with them, provided you've logged in with your account that you purchased the Expansion Packs with. That is why I'm mostly suggesting backing up the .eam file and deleting the orginal as that is the log file for the packs.
If it doesn't work then reinstate the backups from before and contact EA again with the problem, I know you'd probably be better hitting you head against a wall, but you could try and if possible go armed with proof of purchase like a credit card statement, confirmation email etc.
